The mojito has become one of the most popular cocktails for good reason. It’s easy to make and a delight to drink. The cocktail requires only a handful of ingredients, especially rum, mint and lime, which are mostly fresh and may already be available in your kitchen.

Note that the ingredients used for mojitos matter a lot. Avoid spicy, overpowering ingredients like some brands of rum. As much as you can, choose premium brands to use, from the choice of rum to soda.

Ingredients

50ml light rum

2 tsp sugar

1 lime, cut into 2 halves

Soda water

6 fresh mint leaves

1 mint sprig, to garnish

Ice cubes

Method

In a highball glass, mix sugar, mint leaves and a dash of club soda.

Mix properly using a spoon to dissolve the sugar and extract mint flavour.

Squeeze the juice from both halves of the lime into the glass; drop one half into the glass.
